Knowing
Knowing who you are
Changes everything!
You can combat fear
As a divine being ❤️
Sin and deception
Through you, at times, will pass
Seek God's protection
Life's trials do not last
Sadness.. illness...pain
Are for experience
Empathy you'll gain
To make a difference!
To Heaven, we'll rise
Though we know not the hour
All because, through Christ,
There's a transforming power
God's ❤️ Shown Before Our Eyes
Come, let's feast upon the Word-
That gift of Jesus Christ!
Revelation can be heard...
God's love's shown before our eyes!
The Celebration
Imagine the celebration
On the other side of life
When you come to the temple
Having turned your life to Christ
-------------------
Let this be your thought
As you enter in God's home
Through the Spirit taught
Let it fill you up with hope!
You Measure Up
Know YOU measure up
And ARE within God's reach!
His light and love
Is available to each!
Inspired from Elder Kearon's words.

Love From Where There is NO Lightt
We will never have the opportunity
To give of our blood in sweat
Jesus suffered for us in such agony
Yet, even His friends just slept
We will never fully understand
The depth and bredth of this night
Nor to the extent....that He did withstand
To offer love from where there is no Light

Prepare others for His Word

Here are some great questions that our newly called prophet, President Oaks suggests
Linked to Christ - Your Missionary Badge

The Chair
The chair, now empty
Has to be filled ,
A prophet- to lead
Called...tutored... skilled
Imagine the first time President Oaks, as a newly called prophet, sits in "that" seat, now empty.
President Oaks is so much the prophet we need at this time. May he feel our prayers!
https://youtu.be/G6ggRiTxxe4?si=Jt3n5ghkUGQqy6Hq
The empty chair
Is now filled
For sustained care
As God willed
The Lord's For You!

You still aren't so far away
No matter the troubles you're in
The Lord's for you, now, today!
With out stretched arms that await

Our Lifeline
The Lord is our lifeline
He is always there
No matter the time
He knows us and cares
When we're drowning in sin
He'll throw us a rope
Save us from ourselves, then
Offer a way, to hope
When we're deep in despair
And feel all alone
We can pray. He is there
Ready to atone!
The Only Proof We Need!
His Resurrection proves His power
And this is the only proof we need
That He is Our Savior, the Son of God
And will fulfill His promises, in deed!
I wrote this from Inspiring words of the newly called President David Todd Christofferson.

Coincidence
There's a coincidence...
By design and not by chance.
These 2 separate events
Are linked in the Heaven's expanse
When this happens in our family we ask, " What are the odds..??" My husband always answers, "One!"
The Brain Peaks Later in Life
Emotionally and cognitively,
The decision-making brain
Will peak well into the fifties
As, for longevity, we train
Being conscientious
Peaks, still, later in life
Into the seventies
For posterity's light

Hand Made Gifts
Give of yourself
Make it by hand
Plan for Christmas
It will be grand
I heard of a family where every gift has to be made by hand for Christmas. I'm curious what that looks like. Personally, I have treasured my sister's gift. She made things during her lunch hour and saved for Christmas. Love it!

Before You Enter a Room
How do you enter a room
As a person of faith?
But with the armor of God
For your spiritual strength!
Like one sworn to protect
Clearing each room as they go,
Check your heart and inspect
Does your light within still glow?

Granny Gear
Slowing down
To granny gear...
Time for hugs!
Treats, smiles and cheer
...and listening ears
Staring Stupors
My eyes are locked
And cannot move
So don't be shocked
I can't see you
I thought everyone gets the occasional tired eyes that momentarily freeze. I had a student that had little seizures and I would see "locked eyes" hmmm. Well they certainly haven't killed me, but for the first time I had this while driving and knew it was not a good time to change lanes!
Our New Prophet
What a miracle we have in Jesus
Who gives us a prophet for our day
May we pray for him and humbly listen
And through the spirit, trust and obey
It was a delightful surprise and sweet experience to use my lunch break to listen to our new prophet, President Oaks, and his counselors.

My Story is Not Just My Own
I have so come to see
My story is not just my own
Oft, the Lord carries me
Mercifully, by Him I am known
I joined the magical journey of the gospel in college, through a return missionary/ boyfriend. It was a package deal. I thought i was going to do everything right and escape the pain my sister went through in her divorce. Nope... i am so thankful for our Savior, family, conference, and The Book of Mormon.. and prayer.
You two had a wonderful conversation. Thanks for sharing.

Cause to Cheer
No more caving to fear
Or struggling all on your own
We have great cause to cheer
For, by the Lord, we are known
How, through Him, great things are shown!
He Passed Every Test

As the best and brightest
without spot or blemish
He passed every test

The Funeral of President Nelson
Waving, extending hands
He listened with his heart
As one who understands
He spoke. God's words to impart.
"I love you!" He would say
Of which his smile confirmed

A Trucker's Life
The setting of the summer sun
Is a relief for truckers on the road
But, still, the journey is not done
Bless them, for they carry a heavy load
🙏 🤲
Dropping my nephew off so he can begin his work.
Pay the Price for Repentance
Healing and forgiveness,
(the cry from us all)
Will come through repentance
And turning to God
Make your restitution,
Humbly, it's the start
As through reparation
You grow a contrite heart
Thoughts from Elder Anderson's October 2025 general-conference talk

You are not sunk

Joy Glowing Bright
That comes of Jesus Christ
Share it and begin
To feel joy glowing bright
I loved Elder Gerrit Wong's October 2025 general-conference talk. Hmmm. What holds me back? My reason is I feel germy. Like I might get someone sick. I teach first grade and there is always someone sick.

Jesus Carries Us
Jesus carries us
With all of the sins
To a better place
Where healing begins

It's 3 AM
On a long and sleepless night
Give God your full attention.
Believe He can shed some light
On why you've apprehension
And your need for perfection
Let go of the need to be strong
Give Him all your broken pieces
And your long list of growing wrongs
In His mercy, this, He erases
For rest from your darkest spaces
Apprehension is an active state of fear, usually of some danger or misfortune: apprehension before opening a telegram. Anxiety is a somewhat prolonged state
The Passing of the Mantle
Jesus Christ is at the helm
Of His church of Latter-day
His power is placed upon
His prophet to do and say...
Tyler Griffeth explains the passing of authority to minister as the Lord's prophet as we awaits news of who this mantle is passed on to, with the passing of President Nelson.
The Alter to Kneel Before
The alter, acts like a table
For young priests to kneel before
And bless the emblems of the Lord
He's what we come here for!
To come and renew our promise
To always remember Him
So we can have His Spirit with us,
And be sanctified again
Jeremy R Jaggi spoke at Saturdays' October 2025 general conference
Nightly Check-In
Remember who you are
And nightly check in
With Heavenly Father
Who awaits your words with Him
Opinion
There's a person
Behind every thought
Each opinion
Is a lesson taught
We carry them, oft
Like they're gospel truth
Yet in dialogue
We've just not the proof
Peacemakers
Love is the light that persuades
Friendships that build a bond
For inspired brightened results
That can right any wrong!
